HAIR-CLEANING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 504,348,dated.September 5, 1893.

7 Application filed October 20, 1892- Serial No. 4.49.483- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRIDOLIN HALL, a subject of the Grand Duke of Baden,residing at Donaueschingen, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, in the GermanEmpire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-Gleaning Machines, of which the following isa specification.

Hair and bristles have, until the present time, been cleaned in a drymanner, and when performed in this manner the operation has proved verydisagreeable from the dust arising therefrom, so that workmen could beobtained only at a high price. These disadvantages are obviated by thepresent invention,

hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings inwhich- Figure 1, is a side elevation of the machine, partly in section.Fig. 2, is a top view of the same. Fig. 3, is a section through the armsa and g.

a represents a round wooden tub in which the hair to be sorted andcleaned is placed, after it has been filled with fresh water which isrenewed constantly by a pump or other suitable means. In this tubrevolves a drum on which are a number of radially arranged arms orrounds c, bymeans of which the hair in the Water is properly stirred.This drum is mounted on a shaft1',journaled in the frame is, connectedby gear wheels to any source of power. The hair hangs itself onto thearms and by this means is drawn through the clear water, until it hangsclean on the arms in loose bundles, as the continued movement of thearms causes them to act as lifting levers. On the second shaft e,journaled in the arms Z, by which it can be moved backward and forward,is secured a smaller drum f, on which also are drum will pass .betweentwo arms or projections of the small drum, see Fig. 3. As both drumsmove toward the outside in the direction of the arrows, the hair whichhangs upon the arms of the larger drum'is taken off upon the arms of thesmaller drum and is deposited into the reservoir which is divided into aseries of compartments h, from which the requisite quantity may be takenas desired.

What I claim 1. A hair cleaning machine comprising a tub or receptacle,a drum provided with a series of arms rotating in said receptacle, asupplemental drum mounted upon pivoted supporting arms and provided witha series of pairs of arms for removing the hair from the main drum, anda receiving reservoir, substantially as described.

2. ln combinationwith the tub or receptacle, the drum rotating thereinprovided with aseries of rounds or arms, the supplemental drum carryinga series of pairs of arms semicircular in cross section with their fiatfaces facing and adapted to pass in close proximity to the arms of themain drum, to remove the hair therefrom, and a compartment adapted toreceive the hair from the supplemental drum, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.

FRIDOLIN HALL.
